Bert Savoy (1876/or 1888-1923), born Everett McKenzie was an American entertainer who specialized in cross-dressing as a vaudeville act. He often partnered with Jay Brennan[1] on Broadway. Savoy was a rival of sorts to the more famous Julian Eltinge and his star was on the rise when he was struck and killed by lightning while on the beach at Long Island New York.[2][3]

Savoy appeared in the 1918 edition of the Ziegfeld Follies.[citation needed]
